" What a wonderful evening! Empire exceeded all my expectations. The food was extraordinary! We had the blackened tuna on crispy rice, which was a fresh twist on an old classic. The desserts were on another level, especially the Baked Alaska. The atmosphere is unique, especially as the restaurant transitions into club mode late at night. Strongly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" Empire is stunning from the moment you walk in! The decor is exquisite, and the selection of food is quite diverse with lots of vegetarian options too. I had their famous Peking duck, which was exquisite. However, some dishes, like their gyoza, weren’t as good as the rest. Service was fast and friendly, making for an enjoyable experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a special celebration at Empire and the service was incredible! The staff really went above and beyond. The food was wonderfully presented, and although some dishes were fantastic, others didn’t quite hit the mark. I really appreciated the ambiance—it felt upscale yet welcoming. Overall, it’s a memorable place for celebrations but they need to fine-tune the dishes to match the atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many Asian restaurants, but Empire stands out with its unique menu and impressive atmosphere. The food was rich with flavors and left us wanting more. Our server was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Perfect spot for celebrations - the energy is contagious! I will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Empire delivers a great atmosphere, it’s truly stylish and upscale! However, I found the food rather average. I tried several appetizers, and while pretty, they lacked depth of flavor. My drink was nice, though. For the prices they charge, I expected much better food quality. The service was alright but nothing stood out. Overall, I’d only recommend this for the vibe, not the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Empire is high on my list of best restaurants in Boston! The food is nothing short of delicious. The black pepper noodles brought the perfect amount of spice, and all dishes we tried were prepared beautifully. The atmosphere buzzed just right, with a mix between energetic and cozy. As for service, the staff was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Empire for a casual dinner and found it to be quite trendy. The drink menu is impressive with unique flavors, but the food was a bit hit-or-miss. I loved the miso soup, but the dumplings fell flat. Decent atmosphere, but be prepared for quite a lively crowd especially on weekends. I might return, but I’d like to try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)
